Finder tags are powerful, but manually tagging every file is not practical. AutoShelf adds tags to files automatically based on rules you set. Tag large files for review. Tag PDFs as documents. Tag downloads by source. All automatic.
// the problem
// how it works
Pick file type, source URL, downloading app, size, age, or filename patterns. Any combination works.
Choose existing Finder tags or create new ones. AutoShelf can apply multiple tags to a single file.
Every new file gets tagged automatically based on your rules. Your tagging system stays consistent forever.
// features
Tag all PDFs as Documents, all images as Pictures, all archives as Archives. Consistent tagging without lifting a finger.
Tag files from GitHub as Code, files from Slack as Work, files from Figma as Design. Know where every file came from.
Auto-tag files over 100MB as Large. Find them instantly when you need to free up disk space.
Tag files older than 30 days as Old. Review them when you want to clean up without accidentally deleting something recent.
Apply multiple tags to a single file. A large PDF from GitHub could be tagged as Document, Large, and Code at the same time.
Only tag files that match multiple conditions. Tag large PDFs from Slack as Work-Archive, while leaving other files untouched.
